The first approach to take would be to make sure that she is in agreement that the homework needs to get done. Namely, ask her “Don’t you want to be on good terms with your teacher? If so, you need to do your homework!” After that is established, try to turn the tenor of the conversation away from the homework and towards something positive, like “We can play a game tonight but of course the homework has to be done first…”. Hope that helps!

How should I be asking my daughter to do her homework? She has 20 minutes of homework every day…!

I’m sure it could be done! Red tape is always an issue though isn’t it, in any context.

This is an amazing story! I wish something like this could be done in US prisons.

Comment on Back to basics in the IT classroom by Sarah

Nathan – completely agreed. It’s quite a change from the way things used to be. Yet looking back might not help us much here. I feel we need to push forward in finding ways to open up the creative power of technology to more than just the talented few.

Totally agree. It’s happening in all subjects from science to car mechanics – the knowledge gap between what devices can do and how they operate is getting wider and wider. 20 years ago it was possible to buy any bit of equipment for the home and, if it broke down, at least make a good attempt at fixing it yourself. These days, it’s all controled by a small chip, and unless you know machine code or you’re an electrical engineer, it’s better just to get a new bit of equipment than attempt to fix it. How much stuff now contains the disclaimer ‘no user servicable component inside’.
